ANNUAL

REPORT

OUR WORK OUR VISION We want to see a fair, sustainable world led by thoughtful, motivated, and informed Canadians.

OUR MISSION To inspire and coordinate a network of engaged civil society advocates and volunteers, along with business, institutional, and government leaders, in building a robust social movement that works to advance the values and vision of fair trade.

THE WORLD AND OUR WORK The products that we buy, the companies that we purchase from, how we invest and spend our money all have impacts on the world around us.

In Canada, we work to build, support and develop communities of active, engaged citizens. This includes working with various community members and local businesses.

As an organization, we work with people, advocates, businesses, and our public institutions and governments to ensure those decisions have positive impacts on the world. Buying fair trade products is a way to ensure that farmers and workers are compensated fairly, treated with respect, and can produce their products in an environmentally sustainable way.

We work in Canada, but our impacts are felt worldwide, extending through global supply chains into Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

LETTER FROM CFTN PRESIDENT Dear Friends,

CFTN BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Thank you to everyone for the passion and energy you bring. The continual growth of the network and fair trade in Canada is a result of your efforts. This past year continued to show strong success in the Fair Trade Campus, School, and Town programs, along with many new Workplaces and Events designated.

As a board we experienced some transition during the year, and through strong regional networks, we continue to have a full slate of 12 members representing all of the regions across Canada.

AVERY GOTTFRIED, PRESIDENT Fair Trade Vancouver, Victoria, BC

Our focus in 2018 was to identify and support the development of systems and financial capacity to support the ongoing growth of the network. At times it has been difficult to identify key priorities within the multitude of projects and opportunities; however, thanks to the ongoing efforts of our staff, led by our executive director, Sean McHugh, we are making tremendous strides in supporting the development of the network.

We all want to express our gratitude and support for everything that Sean continues to achieve! His energy and project management skills are demonstrated through the volume of projects and initiatives that are completed, and his leadership through the new partnerships, experts, and volunteers engaged in our work. I also want to say thank you to everyone who is a part of our board, advisory council, conference committee, and Origins Trips, as well as those who belong to the many Fair Trade Town, Campus, and School committees across the country.

Globally this year we saw the launch of the new International Fair Trade Charter.

The Charter, supported by the CFTN and over 400 organizations around the world, sets down the fundamental values of fair trade and defines a common vision toward achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

We also applaud the call to end exploitative child labour published by the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. We are working with our partners across Canada to ensure strong, concrete actions are moved forward by the Canadian government.

I look forward to reconnecting and further engaging with everyone on these topics at the 2019 conference in Ottawa, as we continue to grow and expand our influence and network.

Sincerely,

Avery Gottfried President, Canadian Fair Trade Network

NETWORK GROWTH

2,795 FACEBOOK LIKES + 74 FROM 2017

1,817 TWITTER FOLLOWERS +53 FROM 2017 The Canadian Fair Trade Network began as an idea in August 2011. That idea was to grow the fair trade movement by tying together the various stakeholders working on fair trade in differing capacities. Our goal was to enable growth and drive impact, to allow us to speak with a louder, more coordinated voice.

The movement now encompasses volunteers, advocates; business, institutional, and government leaders; and non-profit partners and academics from coast to coast.

In early 2011, Canada had only one national Fair Trade designation program, the Fair Trade Town program, with 15 designations. Building off the success of that program, Fair Trade Campus was launched in late 2011, followed by Fair Trade School in 2014 and Event, Workplace, and Faith Group after that. All six national programs are set up to recognize the efforts made in the name of fair trade. This year we hit a new high, reaching a total of 204 designations!

2018 was another fantastic year, as we added to our numbers, built strong partnerships, and hosted another highly successful conference. The organization also maintained its focus on governance, transparency, reporting, and financial management, and benefitted from a small, but committed team supported by the board and advisory council.

The organization continued to mature in 2018, shifting to integrated online systems and seamless digital financial processes. Our strategy has also continued to evolve and change, as we begin working on larger scale policy change.

There is still lots to do, but we have lots to be proud of!

CAMPAIGNS, PROJECTS, AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS 2018 IN REVIEW

FAIR TRADE ADVOCACY FUND

SUSTAINABLE PURCHASING NETWORK

Created to provide small grants to Fair Trade Town, Campus, and School groups across Canada, the Fair Trade Advocacy Fund was up and running in 2018! Two businesses contributed to the fund, and the first grant was provided in October, supporting the Near & Fair dinner in Winnipeg.

Public procurement yields enormous power, as decisions made by purchasing managers and procurement professionals affect supply chains, businesses, and producers. However, establishing sustainable purchasing policies can be a challenge. At the CFTN, we have linked up with Reeve Consulting and the Municipal Collaboration for Sustainable Procurement to develop a robust network of experts to drive sustainable public procurement across Canada. In 2018, the focus was on research and consultation, building out new web resources while engaging with municipal and university leaders from coast to coast. Lots more to come on this in 2019!

WEBINARS and CONFERENCE CALLS We hosted quarterly Fair Trade Towns calls to provide a platform for community leaders to share ideas and knowledge with each other.

Over 200 students from across Canada participated with their teachers in our webinar on the cocoa industry, which was tailored for students.

12 | CANADIAN FAIR TRADE NETWORK • 2018 ANNUAL REPORT

LARGE-SCALE POLICY EFFORTS With the growth of the fair trade movement in Canada, we have become increasingly well positioned to begin pushing on larger scale policy efforts. We brought advocacy into our last strategy, identifying several areas where we would like to engage.

Emerging in 2018 was a focus on modern slavery legislation, which builds upon the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. These rights represent a platform for coordinated multilateral action on regulation of businesses in the field of forced labour. Governments around the world are taking legal action to ensure businesses stay accountable to their commitments to address forced labour in supply chains.

Fairtrade Canada, World Vision, and UNICEF led efforts.

On October 16, 2018, the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development released a detailed report that calls Canadian lawmakers to take action.

ORIGIN TRIPS

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS PERU | NOVEMBER 10-18 On November 10, 2018, 14 Canadians set out for Peru. We visited producers of coffee, cocoa, sugar cane, and bananas. Thanks in part to the funds raised during the Fair Trade Bake Sale in September 2017, we selected two students—one from McGill and one from University of Ottawa—to join us in Peru.

TRIP OVERVIEW: Nov 10 – We flew into Lima, Peru’s capital.

Nov 11 – After a couple of hours of sleep, we were back in the air, heading to Piura.

Nov 12 – We visited Norandino, a second-tier co-op of 29 smaller co-ops and associations.

Norandino’s facility receives dried coffee, processed panela, and fermented and dried cocoa beans. Presently, Norandino is exporting market-ready panela and is in the process of building a cocoa processing plant, which will enable them to export cocoa liquor. We overnighted in Piura.

Nov 13 – We visited a small, emerging cocoa co-op. We toured the fields and talked to farmers about growing, fermenting, drying, and exporting cocoa. We enjoyed a late lunch before heading into the mountains to Montero. We overnighted in Montero.

Nov 14 – We travelled higher into the mountains from Montero to visit coffee farmers. They explained what it takes to grow and export coffee and shared an evening meal with us.

The local school kids performed dances for the event; we ate, laughed, and danced. We overnighted in Montero.

Nov 15 – We visited a small panela co-op, a group of 20 farmers who have been processing panela for just three years. We walked through the growing, processing, and export process, and then shared a meal with the co-op. From there, we drove back down into Piura.

Nov 16 – We spent our final day with APPBOSA, a banana co-op of over 500 members exporting over 20 containers of bananas each week. We learned about the co-op’s history, visited the farms, and walked through the processing centres. We shared a meal with a few of the farmers and then travelled north to Máncora and the beach.

Nov 17 – We enjoyed a day unwinding on the beach, before returning to Piura, where we caught an evening flight back to Lima.

Nov 18 – While most of us flew home, some stayed in Peru to visit Cusco and Machu Pichu.

These trips provide an incredible opportunity to learn about agriculture, yields, pricing, premium use, processing, packing, export, and development. As our global economy shifts and our supply chains grow longer, these trips are invaluable. Furthermore, as we shift towards creating greater solidarity between the North and South, it’s important that we approach development, trade, and business through a lens of partnership and mutual benefit.
